ICD-10 Code D25.9 – Leiomyoma of uterus, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide

The ICD-10 code for Leiomyoma of uterus, unspecified is D25.9.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D25.9 – Leiomyoma of uterus, unspecified

What it is

D25.9 identifies a benign smooth muscle tumor of the uterus when the record does not specify the exact location. Use this code when documentation says uterine leiomyoma, fibroid, or myoma without further detail.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly reported findings include an enlarged or irregular uterus, pelvic pressure, abnormal uterine bleeding, or bulk-related symptoms, but the diagnosis should be supported by imaging or exam notes.

When to use this code

Use D25.9 when the provider documents a uterine fibroid or leiomyoma and does not identify submucous, intramural, or subserosal type. It also fits when the chart only states “fibroid uterus” or “uterine myoma” without further specificity. If laterality or site is clarified, code the more specific option instead.

Do not use for

Do not use D25.9 if the record specifies a different leiomyoma subtype, because a more exact code is available. Do not assign it for malignant uterine neoplasms or for nonspecific pelvic masses without documentation of leiomyoma.

Coding tip

Check the pathology, imaging, or provider assessment for the exact uterine leiomyoma type before defaulting to the unspecified code.
